Nanga Parbat Attempt. Our Expedition from Schwäbisch Gmünd was composed of Josef Funk, Karl Wamsler, Alfred Eggensperger, Helmut Rösch, Bernd Neubaur, Hans Schmid and me as leader. We at- temped the southwest ridge (the Toni Kinshofer Route) and found the section from 16,400 to 19,700 feet dangerous because of rockfall. We only reached 22,300 feet, having run out of time because of delays caused by Pakistani authorities.
